Joe, re:<We have a mysterious Coppermine T (or Coppermine LV) appearing in Q4.> That same roadmap shows the Coppermine 128K appearing before the end of Q1. In won't appear until Q3, so I doubt any other predictions on the roadmap. Petz

Great find! I think we can deduce a couple of things from these roadmaps, assuming they don't get changed. 1) As others have said, Dr. Tom was right, Almador is a non-Rambus chipset for a new (0.13?) coppermine. 2) Since Willy changes its number of pins, I can only think that an integrated memory controller is to blame. Since Northwood and Willy with more pins both use the same Tulloch chipset, they (MTH forbid) will use the same memory type. Thus, either they both use Rambus, or Intel, with this raodmap, has killed Rambus. Given that Intel wouldn't (couldn't) keep this kind of secret from their Wall Street buddies, and that Rambus has not plummeted, Tulloch must be a Rambus chipset. If Intel does have secret plans to drop Rambus for Willy, we haven't heard the code names yet. I doubt it would be to hard to hide such intent in Foster chipset development. PS- notice that these roadmaps must be close to current, since Timna is shown as Q1 2001.

Intel Roadmaps. watch.impress.co.jp My "watch-impression": Tulloch follows Tehama (850) and is a Rambus chipset for the Willamette-479 and the 130 nm Northwood. Cammino3 follows 820/820E and is a Rambus chipset for Coppermine, Coppermine-T and the 130 nm Tualatin. Almador follows 815/815E and is a (DDR?) SDRAM chipset for Coppermine, Coppermine-T and Tualatin. I have the impression that both Coppermine-T and Tualatin use a (200 MHz? 1.2V?) GTL FSB bus to connect to Camino3 and Almador It seems that Tualatin is the 130 nm version of Coppermine and is not a Willamette follow-up. Regards, Hans.
